José Creissac Campos, Assistant Professor from the
Department of Informatics (DI) of the School of Engineering of the University
of Minho (EEUM), was appointed as member of the College of Assessors of the New
Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. The researcher took
office on the 10th January.
José Creissac
Campos, Assistant Professor from the DI of the EEUM and researcher at the High
Assurance Software Laboratory (HASLab), also from the EEUM, was appointed, in January
2018, member of the College of Assessors of the New Zealand Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
MBIE is
seeking experts globally to assess scientific research proposals for the annual
Endeavour Fund, the New Zealand Government’s competitive funding vehicle for scientific
research. This fund invests in excellent research that has high potential to
positively transform New Zealand’s future economic performance, sustainability
and integrity of our environment, and help strengthen the society.
The researcher
will have as role to evaluate proposals of projects submitted to the fund – in
terms of quality – and propose if they should be financed. “As a member of
MBIE, I give a technical opinion on whether the project has scientific
excellence and if the responsible team is qualified. In the first stage, I have
to evaluate this scientific excellence, but I have a double function:
coordinator and evaluator. At a later stage, it is necessary to look at a set
of evaluations and formulate a final recommendation that is forwarded to MBIE”,
José Creissac Campos clarified.
José Creissac
Campos was also appointed a Senior Member of ACM. This distinction recognises
the ACM members with at least 10 years of professional experience and five
years of continuous professional membership, who have demonstrated performance
through technical leadership, and technical or professional contributions.
José Creissac
Campos completed his 1st cycle degree in Systems and Informatics Engineering in
1991 at the University of Minho and his PhD in Computer Sciences in 2000 at the
York University, U.K. He develops his activity in the DI of the EEUM since 1991
and he is a researcher at the HASLab, also of the EEUM. His research interests
focus on Interactive Systems Engineering, at the intersection of Formal
Methods, Software Engineering, and Human-Computer Interaction. He is President of
IFIP working group 2.7/13.4 on User Interface Engineering and an ACM Senior
Member.
